Colorado Part III

So far, I have only shown photos from the first couple of days of our vacation on Colorado.. I have so many more photos of scenery, animals and birds. I hope you do not mind tagging along on my trip once again..

We stopped at the Grand Lake Lodge for lunch, this is the view from the front porch. I see I found a good fence around the swimming pool.

A view of the pretty sky and clouds, gorgeous mountain scenery. Does a rock wall count as a fence?

I like this view of the mountains, the tundra plants and the fence.. I was snapping all kinds of fences in the Rocky Mtn Nat'l Park..

I am not sure if this is a crow or a common raven.. But, we found a few of them near the Alpine Visitor Center..

This was a trail located at the Medicine Bow Curve overlook.. Hubby and I walked along some, I was looking for the White-tailed Ptarmigan. No luck finding the bird.

This trail is called the Tundra Communities trail...located at the Alpine Visitor Center.. elevation 12,000 feet..The White-tailed Ptarmigan can be found there in the winter.. hiding in little snow caves..The sky on this shot above is beautiful.

A small lake scene along the Trail Ridge Road. In the corner of the photo you can make out another fence for Tex's Good Fence post..I told you I was finding all kinds of fences in the park..

I am not sure what kind of bird this is, we saw a flock of different birds moving along the trail we were walking on..It seems to have a rusty colored breast, too much for a bluebird or a robin?

We were on our vacation during the time of the supermoon.. This photo I believe was taken a day before the actual full moon..

I hope you enjoyed my post and photos

these are great shots, Eileen ... the skies out west are just amazing. so blue & clear. i think a stone fence is best. i prefer it actually. i love the 1st shot. it looks like a view i could enjoy ... wow wee!! nice one. ( :

Wonderful scenic shots Eileen, especially the one from the Grand Lake Lodge. It would be easy to linger there over a meal or a drink.What an unusual fence you found there alongside the rocks. Enjoy the rest of your week - see you on Saturday.

I could never get tired of seeing your photos of your Colorado. Not only are they beautiful, but they remind me of places we visited when we were there and give me places to visit if we make it back there.

Great fences, Eileen! And, some awesome shots while in the Park. So different from the photos I took. Isn't it wonderful that there is so much to see and enjoy there. You could go back a hundred times and have a different experience each time!

I don't mind at all joining you on your trip as you share it. Such beautiful scenery. I like your fence shots. I enlarged the one with the cool rock formations and yes there was a fence there, a neat looking one too.

There's nothing more beautiful than the Rocky Mts! That little bird is so cute...wonder if it is some type of finch. We have a baby cardinal right now and it looks different than the adults. Fun to birdwatch wherever you go! Enjoy your weekend! Hugs!

Beautiful scenery. Love the shot of the so very nearly full moon. It was cloudy here during the super moon event so we totally missed out. It's good to see some photos of those who were able to view it.
